Abrams opened earlier U.S. dates on the Eras Tour and will be featured on the remaining North American dates through the end of this year.
“I’m a diehard Swiftie, so I’m literally just one of you. I’ll be in the stands in tears at soon as our set is over,” Abrams said from the stage on Friday in a sheer black dress with red detailing and a midriff cutout. She sang the following:
- “Risk”
- “Blowing Smoke”
- “I Love You, I’m Sorry”

- “That’s So True”

Will Florence and the Machine play with Taylor Swift in Florida?
Will Swift come to Florida and not play the namesake song?
Will Florence Welch surprise the audience like she did in London? Time will only tell.
USA TODAY national music critic Melissa Ruggieri described “Florida!!!” like this when “The Tortured Poets Department” was released in April.
“,” co-written by and is the standout, with Swift and Welch trading vocals over a stomping backbeat that is both cinematic and purposeful.
While it’s impossible to out-lyricize Swift, Welch nudges impressively close with her self-penned contribution: “Barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of wine, well, me and my ghosts had a hell of a time.”
These two are ideal companions, musically and philosophically.
